Getting Started: Resource for newcomers

[Claire]

Hi,

 

Newcomers get so overwhelmed. Here are some threads that can help.

Since I won't be posting for a bit, I thought this might be a nice thing to do for newcomers. I hope others will post other threads on here that I missed (e.g. PANDAS, to investigate for sudden onset of tics/OCD).

**1/31/06 I am editing this thread to include a fundamental resource: Sheila Rogers' new book where she compiles expert (including parents!) input on non-pharmaceutical treatments that can substantially alleviate tic disorders. This should save a lot of research time!**

Carolina,

 

Not Chemar, but I wanted to say welcome and ask if it is you or your child, dealing with tics or TS?

 

I didn't want you to get lost in the shuffle here, and I'm sure Chermar will respond soon. I will never forget how grateful I was to her, with my first post and her response

 

Please feel free to share what your comfortable with!
